our guests joining me tonight is playwriter and contributor to the new european bonnie greer, and political wolf. the 12 boys and their football coach who were rescued from a cave complex in thailand are to leave hospital on thursday, when they'll be reunited with their families. the father of one of the boys, who's the team captain, has told the bbc the team had feared for their lives, and he is looking forward to hugging his son. martin patience reports. they are arguably the world's most famous football team. the latest pictures from hospital with the boys building up their strength. this player wants to eat crispy pork and fried rice. another boy is after some sushi. and a third wants a kfc. thank you so much. after the darkness of the cave, they now have the light to draw. one of those recovering is 13—year—old dom. his father has spoken exclusively to the bbc. translation: he said it was an enormous struggle inside the cave. it was of course dark and there was no food. they drank the water dripping from the roof of the cave. the coach got them to meditate every day. it created a tight

and the greers were starting with 40 acres. if they had been farming outside new york city and decided to drop the traces and set off to boston the plowing of that 40 acres would have mocked them there and back again every spring. those farmers are lucky enough to have a hundred acres under cultivation might just as well have been walking from new york city past chicago every spring. but there was no city of chicago yet. there was just water and wilderness. it was only possible once the earth underneath it had been cleared. charles and as i did not own the cultivated earth. their land have been virgin forest. and everything had grown on it but crops and trees. and all of them had roots within a few feet the team hit the first big route. the oxen put their heads down and pulled. groaning a little. charles called to them whistling. until they snapped and they dripped forward. the next route was bigger. and as the team pulled charles would have had to call the because i appeared they already had to access up there back. it could w

different approaches to the electorate and how they're reflected in the mid-coming elections and kristina greerassociate professor of political science at fordham. >> it was the moment caught on tape saying it was a crazy time. it was indeed a wild primary down there. >> it was. much more than most people expected. most people thought cagle as the establishment candidate would come out on top. it did look like the endorsement from the president helped mr. kemp and see what that brings in the fall. it was quite the primary. even back of in may when there were like a bunch of them running and somebody was driving around in the bus that he said he was going to deport people. >> yeah. there was a candidate who drove around in a bus saying they were looking for undocumented immigrants to deport. christina, you look at stacy abrams closing ad in her democratic primary and you look at the closing ad for kemp in georgia, the contrast, not just in what the positions are, but the issue spaces dollar talking about. abrams is talking about four different concrete policy proposals and kemp is like, i stand

they've had that 2% mandate for going on five and a bit greers and they haven't got within touching distancelet alone distance to give them the ascension to move toward either unwinding their program or even touching rights and looking at what most people say, i'm in agreement. the only thing they'll do is tweak it and that word needs to be highlighted. tweaking means it's working at the margins. it's not going to see any material change overall. their e.t.f. is clearly the easiest way to move it. yes, they'll move away from being a fairly large support that's been going into the nikkei, probably more toward topix numbers but their bond curve? a loop in my view. the inability to actually affect material structural change would create quite volatility and take a very long time, it would require communication for a while and before action even happened. so i think it might be atele -- a little less of an event that's been forecast. despite the rumor and innuendo, i suspect they'll sit on their hands and probably the contrary trait. whatever they say, whatever they say i think is going to see a

and cristina greer, political science associate, and mik silver, institute fellow at new york university. she's also the author of "blacketh knicks." i want to read the latest tweet from our latest president. it sets the stage what we're going to be talking about this entire hour. there is no collusion. this just came down the last hour or so. there is no cloouollusion. angry democrats started by a fraudulent dossier paid for by crooked hillary. therefore, the witch hunt is an illegal scam. when i see -- ellie, i'll start with you on this, because i know you like to get fiery. and you tweeted out you were going to spew some fire today. >> therefore -- >> when i see tweets like this, i always wonder, what is actually going on with the president when he tweets something like this out on a sunday afternoon heading into the week. >> he's a pathological liar who is scared. there is no -- he's so obsessed with this dossier. we have moved so far beyond the dossier, right? but he has to bring everything back to the dossier, because it embarrasses him. and from there, it's just -- he thinks that

when you have somebody like germaine greer saying just because you lop your bits off and put on a dress when you havejenny murray having four pages in the sunday times to say trans women are not real women, kids are seeing that. so if we want to protect kids in schools, adults need to lead by example. there is a lot of cruelty and hostility towards lgbt and particularly trans people at the moment. it is horrible and that has to change. freedom of speech is of course something that many people would argue for strongly, but surely this is ultimately about changing social attitudes. how do you think we can do that? i think the whole freedom of speech issue is a red herring. there are all sorts of things that are rude to say to people that we don't and that people would rightly say, that's out of order. at the moment, we have a situation where transphobia and anti—trans situation where transphobia and anti—tra ns bigotry has situation where transphobia and anti—trans bigotry has passed the dinner table test, where people feel it is acceptable to be unpleasant and rude. surely that is changi

merkley: i ask that my indiana tern careen in a velazquez be granted privileges of the greer for the balance of the day. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. merkley: the nomination of ryan wesley bounds is just the latest of attacks based on a strategy of converting the united states from a nation that is based and organized and fights for the principle of we the people to one that bows to the powerful and the privileged. his nomination has already strained and degraded the senate's blue slip tradition as our colleagues rush to pack our colleagues with extremist judges to advance that division, not of judges who call balls and strikes but of judicial activists who want to rewrite the constitution, rewrite it to put down workers, to put down health care rights, to lay out and tear down consumer rights, women's rights, so many opportunities and empowerments diminished in the favor of the privileged and the powerful. that's what's going on with the packing of the court, and this deed -- this deed of putting forward this nomination on this floor tonight changes 100-year traditi

me just step -- let me just step back and note these haven't been normal oil prices in the last 15 greers. you just don't see a near quintupling without a war on the persian gulf in modern times. that doesn't happen. but it happened from 2004-2008. and you just don't see oil prices fall 60% in half a year as we did in 2014 without a recession or sudden supply surge. this is unusual in modern times. we have to ask ourselves why. since the beginning of the modern oil market oil prices have exhibited a proneness to wild boom and bust swings. now, when oil was just a lighting fuel in the 1800s, it wasn't so much of a problem, but in the 20th century it became a problem this volatility not just for the oil industry, but for you, for governments, for industry, for airlines, for everyone who depends on oil, which is most of us. to vanquish oil's wide swings and stablize prices, governments and the industry regulated production, and folks forget the united states was the king of opec. specifically, the state of texas. the state of texas exhibited heavy-handed intervention in a market that would h
